[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16610249, member: 35549"] I've only dealt with a couple big blocks. My personal engine was a 460 with worked over heads, decent cam, but stock intake. Never got the chance to swap that out. The torque was fun. I left a lot of rubber on the road. Next was a Chevy 454 taken out to a 496. Bored and stroked with aluminum rods, forged crank and pistons, stock block, and everything done to the heads. That thing spent a lot of time at 7k in a flat bottom boat with a Powerglide. Never had an issue. Eventually it ended up in a C3 Corvette. That was a fun ride too. What ended up killing it was he decided to reassembled it one night after a few beers. He didn't torque one of the rods. So when he fired it up on the engine stand it flung a nut around and broke the cam. [/QUOTE]
